MTD 635-21 Amboyna Burl - SOLD £2700 Duesseldorf / Germany

[mrbassman_de]

Selling my just traded-in MTD 6 string. It is a great player and one of the earlier basses Michael Tobias has built.

It has spent most of its life with an active preamp and a huge power supply jack built into the body. According to the previous owner (a fellow BCer) Michael himself restored the bass to its original state, re-installed the original Bartolini pre and closed the hole with a matching wood part. The quality of the work is excellent as expected.

The bass has a wonderful low action and with its 3,9 kg it is a featherweight, considering it is a 35" 6er !

Amboyna Burl Top (that is a VERY expensive wood today)
Leightweight Ash body
Maple neck and board
Wenge cap on headstock and Wenge plates
Bartolini pickups and preamp (V/Bal/B/M/T and Mid frequency switch)
21 frets
18 mm spacing at bridge
35" scale
3,9 kg (true !)
Original HSC (has seen better days)

Everything works fine. Frets have long life left.

SOLD
